2018 Roster Discussion

Possibly. Maybe the combined training today was just to see what player they want to bring in.

But remember, Andraž Struna. He was only here for like three months.

I'm not all that bothered by the option of a veteran on loan, but it's a bit surprising to me that we have the Harrison GAM (IIRC) and it's post-World Cup cycle and we aren't targeting someone bigger for the long term.
 
my best guess would be that buying someone now wouldn't give Dome time to integrate him properly like waiting until the off-season would.

I'm more interested in right now. Zero rumors for this window yet and we are almost half way through it.

I don't think we make it thru to the MLS Final without bolstering our midfield depth. McNamara and Awauh are one injury away from being starters in the playoffs. Ofori backing up Ring and Player X is miles more comforting.
Sure but lets not talk ourselves into some TAM/DP thing when we are going to have to likely replace Villa next year. We also don't need a CM right now the way our team is playing. We need one looking towards the end of the season and the playoffs.

I will be concerned if we don't sign one by the end of the window, but we have never been a beginning of the window type of team or a team that leaks info. I guess that sucks as a fan, but with our FO's track record on finding guys like Chanot, Callens, Ring, Tinnerholm, Berget, and Isi the last three windows I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt to find the right player.
 
1. I took his language as saying there is an immediate need for someone until season's end. If we get someone for longer than that - all the better, but it's not a requirement.

2. How about replacing Villa with a box-to-box guy who can boss the midfield and relying on the rest of our existing front line to score the goals - Shradi, Medina, Berget, Lewis, etc.?
 
I want to know why they haven't talked about Herrera and his loan status. Unless we're conveniently transferring GAM to Man City to buy Herrera at season's end.
 
Is there a translation?
According to @lesportiuGIR, Eloi Amagat is about to close its incorporation into @NYCFC of Dominic Torrent with the contract until December of this year and may be extended for another season. Everything is at home


Midas thoughts:
He’s old and got 2 appearances last year. Not exactly inspiring.

Thanks for the literal translation. Was gonna ask for the opinion translation, but see that you’ve now added it. Meh.

Was hoping for some crossover with Dome. But he was on loan the years Dome was there.
 
Maybe the way we tried to interpret Dome was wrong. Maybe we should have taken him for his word that he wanted a 4 month player.

He passed a physical in Manchester last week under the guise of doing it with Girona. He can be in NYC as early as this week for a press conference. He's out of contract with Girona and would be the first ever Girona player in MLS.

He's also played under Torrent before and has played in three divisions with Girona throughout his career.

Wasn’t he on loan when Dome was at Girona?
